Sony said on Tuesday that it would launch an upgraded version of its flagship games console PlayStation 5 Pro, with enhanced graphics and AI capabilities, on November 7.
"Simply put, it's the most powerful console we've ever built and a worthy addition to the PS5 family," Mark Cerny, PlayStation's lead architect, said in a video announcement.
A caption at the end of a short message said the console would retail at $700 and 800 euros, a higher price than the current PlayStation 5.
Sony's gaming division has endured tough times this year with PlayStation 5 missing its sales targets and announcing 900 job cuts – some eight percent of its workforce.
Analysts say gaming enjoyed a huge boost in popularity during Covid lockdowns, attracting huge investment.
But the money has largely dried up since, and gaming firms are now struggling.
